ASD

MEDICAREINFORMATION

There are a number of different plans or packages under Medicare which may enable families of children with a diagnosis of an Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to access services from a private provider and be rebated by Medicare.Please note: the terms ASD and Pervasive Development Disorder (PDD) are interchangeable in this context.

AEIOU Foundation

AEIOU Foundation is a not for profit organisation dedicated to providing a professional, full-time early intervention program of the highest quality for children aged two and a half to six years of age who have been diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder.

Early intervention programs provide a specific, structured approach to education for children with autism from an early age. There is no cure for autism, but studies show that children who begin early intervention before the age of four years have shown significant improvements in their ability to learn new skills and adapt to their environment.

AEIOU Foundation operates in nine locations across Queensland, including a regional program in Emerald. Most recently, the Foundation opened a service in Nambour on the Sunshine Coast, and another at Carrara West, on the Gold Coast.

In 2011, the Foundation will construct a custom-designed centre at Sippy Downs. In 2011, AEIOU will expand its services to include a school transition program to support AEIOU families as they move from the early intervention program and into school.
